Tried all three - still loading up everything including the crashed file. Thanks for your help though.

Finder hangs as soon as it tries to open the files, because one of the past files caused it to crash.

They sound to me like things that could be caused by a corrupt spotlight index. It may be something else entirely, but its as good a place to start as any.

Well, you can work your way through them - it should (hopefully) be clear which one is maxed out, and it might even tell you if there is a process resource hogging. I also just had an idea for a cause that I will post as an answer (its long)

comment Pandora on my iphone in Germany
Have a look at VPN services - I won't name any in particular, but the iPhone supports VPN access and then whichever service you choose will believe you are still in the states. Be sure to read reviews on the services and go for one that at least appears trustworthy.
